My rear wiper mounts all broke apart - this is how I fixed it.

Plastic little mounts. Really? I'm not buying a whole new assy for this. Time to make a system that won't do that again.

Pictures tell the story here.

Dude, I went online here and whined about it breaking and how i was gonna make a more permanent fix, so I was kinda obligated to follow through.

I would just as soon NOT had this break apart to begin with.

And if I was showing off I would have polished it and shit. Or made it all out of magnesium or something.......

Yea sure not showing off. That is art worthy. How long did that take you?
